PEN World Voices Festival

May 1, 2013 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

$20

Why are confessional narratives penned by female writers so often deemed “brave,” “sticky,” or in the case of Sharon Olds, “opportunistic,” when the same material addressed by male writers is called by its name: art? For the PEN World Voices festival, join Guernica Magazine to confess, grieve, and take jabs at the glaring double-standard in how personal writing is consumed, marketed, and reviewed today. Benjamin Anastas, author of the memoir “Too Good to Be True,” will be among the panelists.  Moderated by Rachel Riederer, an editor at Guernica.
